To Desire a Devil by Elizabeth Hoyt

3.0

---

I can’t help feeling that Elizabeth Hoyt became less enamored with the “traitor” arc of this series about halfway through, which means this final installment of Legend of the Four Soldiers feels quite flimsy. It’s difficult to talk about this book with specifics, as its existence alone is a spoiler, but it’s the weakest of the series by far; when it opens with a note from the author and three “prequel” scenes that didn’t make the final books....like, what are we doing here, other than highlighting the wanting nature of the book on the whole? I do think there is actually a really good book here outside of the series’ plot conceit, and I would very much like to read that book with far more character and relationship development. This just makes me ask: WHY?
